The content warning is woefully insufficient and needs the additions of on page rape of the FMC and a side character, implied rape of side characters, on page rape of the FMC with an object, incest, coercion, and contraceptive tampering added to it, among others. Non-con is not descriptive enough as that includes *any* type of behavior this is not consensual; not just sexual. 

Really interesting story for this installment in the series. We get more of a peek into the world of the Fae. This one is very dark but the author gives readers an alternative to skip the dark chapters with alternate, lighter ones. I didn’t get much of a connection between the main characters but I still enjoyed them together. The twist of the story as we finally learn the lineage of the FMC’s family and why they are being hunted is fairly riveting. I found the way the author utilized multiple pov while volleying between first for the FMC and third for everyone else to be very clumsy. The transitions are just not smooth. 

The ending was rushed and awkward. The FMC is rightly traumatized by her experience and it’s eluded to that she’s deceived via an illusion. No one corrects her experience, which I get the why of it, but that’s going to be interesting for a future installment that features her sister because the illusion will need to be unpacked. Or, I hope it is. But also ten years pass in the epilogue in this book. This part of the story is very messy and unclear. Maybe it will be cleared up when we get Leislah’s book. Still, I enjoy the series and think it worth a read if you like dark scifi fantasy romance.
